Ka Mate
The most famous haka is “Ka Mate,” composed about 1820 by the Maori chief Te Rauparaha. It became known to the world at large when, in the early 20th century, it was incorporated into the pregame ritual of New Zealand’s national rugby union team, the All Blacks.
Why are there different versions of the haka?
